How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 1 The house collapses at the beginning

"Jiang Yu's multiple relationships exposed!"

"Jiang Yu's ex-girlfriends are all big stars!"

"Time management master Jiang Yu!"

"A list of Jiang Yu's three celebrity ex-girlfriends!"

"Bulgari announces the termination of its contract with Jiang Yu!"

"Jiang Yu, get out of the entertainment industry!"

……

Blue Star, China.

The news of top artist Jiang Yu’s scandal has swept the internet. It’s not just a trending search on Weibo, but all major social media platforms have been dominated by the news of Jiang Yu’s scandal!

"Wow! Another celebrity scandal in the entertainment industry has been exposed. I'm ready to watch the follow-up (eating melons)."

"Help! I'm speechless! I just saw a Weibo post saying a top influencer's account had collapsed, and when I clicked on it, it turned out to be my account. Woohoo!"

"No, Jiang Yu is just a traffic artist with no talent or productions. And yet his three girlfriends are all big stars?! I can't accept it, damn it!"

"Ahhh! My goddess, Jiang Yu, give me back my goddess!"

"Oh my god! Queen Su Muwan, movie queen Yang Xue, popular girl group idol Song Yuqing! These three are actually the ex-girlfriends of that bastard Jiang Yu? Ahhh! I'm going to kill him!"

"No, you said you were single. You're in so many relationships, it's disgusting!"

"I'm so impressed! I've been a fan of Jiang Yu for so long, but I never thought he would be this kind of person. It's disgusting. I'm going to stop being a fan!"

"One point for quitting being a fan and backstabbing!"

"No, what's so good about Jiang Yu besides being handsome? He has no acting skills, no works, and he actually has three big-star ex-girlfriends. Damn it!"

"Ah? Why did my brother's house collapse? How come he disappeared in the darkness?"

"Damn it! Don't say that about my brother. He works very hard."

……

Zhonghai City, Jiang Yu’s home.

He sat on the sofa, scrolling through his phone, looking at the news and comments about himself, his face speechless.

"I actually traveled through time?!"

"And I traveled through time and space to a person with the same name and surname as me?"

Jiang Yu was speechless. He didn't expect that such a thing would happen to him.

Putting down his phone, Jiang Yu digested the memories of his original body.

Jiang Yu, a top male artist of Blue Star China, participated in a talent show at the age of 19 as a personal trainee who had practiced for two and a half years. Under the siege of numerous capitals, he debuted as the number one C position with his super high appearance and strength that was stronger than those parallel trainees.

After that, he formed a boy band with parallel trainees from major capital companies for three years and became a top star.

But what followed was endless abuse and online blackmail.

Some people said Jiang Yu was too effeminate, that he had nothing to offer except his looks, that none of his songs were worth listening to, and that his acting was lacking. This was especially true when Jiang Yu won the Penguin Music Golden Song of the Year Award for an English song, drawing widespread online criticism. Then, videos and images of Jiang Yu were parodied on various short video platforms.

However, although he has many black fans, his traffic is real, and Jiang Yu's popularity is getting higher and higher. After the boy group's contract expired and disbanded three years ago, an entertainment company offered a high price to sign a three-year contract with Jiang Yu.

This year is the last year, no, I only have one month left on my contract with the company.

After Jiang Yu digested the memory, he was confused and even felt that God was unfair.

"No, my professional skills are not better than his. Why is he so famous while I have been tepid in the entertainment industry for ten years?"

In his previous life, he was a professionally trained entertainer on Earth, capable of singing and dancing. However, he never gained popularity, and after transitioning to acting, he spent ten years as a minor actor. His acting was not bad, and he even received recognition from many seniors and directors. However, in his thirties, he barely managed to land a third male role, and few people recognized him.

It turns out that this guy is just handsome, his professional ability is average, and even the songs he releases are garbage that no one likes to listen to except his fans.

How can such a person become a top star?

"Sure enough, this is an era where appearance is everything."

Jiang Yu shook his head. The most infuriating thing was that this guy had three girlfriends who were big stars.

This guy is handsome, knows how to please girls, and is a top star. With his original family's tragic life experience as a buff, he gets along very well with women.

"You have a big star as your girlfriend, but you're still not satisfied and don't treat her well?"

Now, all the previous relationships have been exposed. In the entertainment industry, it is a fatal thing for such traffic artists and traffic stars who rely on female fans to make a living to have their love affairs exposed.

The key point is that this matter was suddenly exposed. At first, it was just one, and then the media paparazzi broke the news that Jiang Yu and Song Yuqing were dating. After the news broke, Song Yuqing's fans exploded. Then someone broke the news that Jiang Yu had emotional disputes with the queen Su Muwan and the actress Yang Xue.

Suddenly, the internet exploded in the past two days. The news about the three celebrity girlfriends directly flooded the Internet. After calming down, Jiang Yu also thought carefully about the current situation.

His previous relationship was exposed. The most crucial thing now is that he is just a traffic artist who relies on female fans. The exposure of his relationship is a fatal blow.

The most important thing now is that Jiang Yu's fans, especially the female ones, can't accept this. A popular artist is in a relationship, and the original owner has no works or abilities. The exposure of these things this time is indeed fatal.

Suddenly thinking of something, Jiang Yu immediately looked at the balance of his bank card. There was only two hundred million cold dollars on the card.

"It's not bad, it seems like I've made a lot of money over the years."

The top stars still have a strong ability to attract money. Although the boy group did not make much money in the first three years, they made a lot of money in the next three years after signing with the company.

After all, in order to impress Jiang Yu, who was a top star at the time, the entertainment company had to show sincerity.

Two hundred million in three years, that’s about right, I should be able to sit back and relax.

But the subsequent termination and compensation messages from major brands and the program team made Jiang Yu's heart plummet.

"No, more than 250 million in liquidated damages and compensation!"

Jiang Yu was a little confused. Now he couldn't just lie down and he even owed more than 50 million.

Although they have earned a lot of money and received high endorsement fees over the years as top stars, high profits also mean high risks. With the series of celebrity scandals in recent years, brands have become more savvy. They now include clauses in their contracts with artists, stating that if an artist violates regulations, causes adverse effects, or damages the brand's image, they can unilaterally terminate the contract and the artist must pay a hefty penalty.

After all, if you want to get so much endorsement fee, you have to bear a series of risks.

This is also the experience that brands have learned from the scandals of celebrities in China in the past two years.

After all, capital is not charity.

And because of the contract with the company, the company will not help you pay the penalty. After all, Jiang Yu earns more, so naturally he bears more risks.

"Come on, this is the beginning of hell!"

Jiang Yu also felt a lot of pressure. He owed more than 50 million yuan. Even if he sold the house, he would still have to pay more than 20 million yuan.

Jiang Yu was helpless. After calming down, he sat on the sofa and carefully thought about the ins and outs of the matter.

"It seems that something is wrong with this matter."

After his relationships were exposed, his agency was a bit slow to act. Furthermore, only his agency and the women knew about his relationships with his three celebrity ex-girlfriends.

Paparazzi?

Is it such a coincidence?

The woman will definitely not expose this, after all, she is not that stupid, so it can only be a problem on the company's side.

"Haha, that's interesting. If you can't get it, you'll destroy it, right?"

From the memories of the original body, Jiang Yu knew that the company had been negotiating a contract renewal since the beginning of the year. However, the original body had been pushing back, and until last month, the negotiations had completely failed, and the original body was ready to open a studio and go it alone.

After all, with Jiang Yu's popularity and money-making potential, there's really no need for him to work for someone else. Even if he were to sign with a company, the company would still take a cut. He could earn more by working on his own, having already made over 200 million in three years.

But just after last month, the company's attitude towards Jiang Yu seemed to have changed. They frantically accepted notices for him, as if they were preparing to squeeze out all his value before his contract expired.

This month, after Jiang Yu got into trouble, the company took some action, but the effect was minimal.

Jiang Yu was sure that although the rivals were fanning the flames in this matter, there was definitely a company behind it as well.

To intimidate yourself and force yourself to renew the contract?
If you can't get it, destroy it?

Well, it fits the tone of capital.

"It seems like I can't rely on the company anymore. I have to do it myself."

The main thing now is to make money. After paying the compensation, I still owe tens of millions. I guess I have to sell this house.

"Oh, I have to make money."

what to do?

Jiang Yu doesn't know anything either. He was in the entertainment industry in his previous life, and he traveled through time in this life and is still in the entertainment industry.

However, Jiang Yu suddenly discovered that after he traveled through time, his memory seemed to have improved significantly, especially for those entertainment works, which he remembered very clearly.

The benefits of time travel?
Goldfinger?
Never mind for now, at least I have to find a job to make money.

But before that, I have to terminate the contract with this crappy company. Even though it's only for a month, it still needs to be terminated. Otherwise, if I make money, I'll have to let these evil capitalists take away part of it.

He also wanted to see if the company was playing tricks.
